We’re working to improve language outcomes for 0-5 year olds in the Hackney Downs Neighbourhood by:
- Improving our identification of children who need support
- Empowering parents to support their child’s language development
- Working with local community spaces to create supportive environments for 0-5 year old’s language development
To do this we need to understand how parents are supported to help their child/ren’s early language development.
Why? We know that at least 50% of children in Hackney are at risk of not achieving the expected level of language for their age by the time they start school. Language difficulties early in life can have a significant impact on a child’s later life outcomes.
Who? We want to hear from parents/carers, education, healthcare and voluntary staff.
How can I help? We need to know what you think would support your child’s language development. Do you receive support for your child’s language development that works well? Anything making it hard to access support? We want to know!
Here is the link to our survey which is only for parents/carers who are living in Hackney:
Early Interaction Project: Parent/Carer Survey
As a thank you for your time, respondents will be asked at the end of the survey if they would like to be entered into a prize draw to win a £20 Sainsbury’s voucher. The prize draw will take place on Friday 27th January 2023.
